a) Septic system density above .26 per acre causes problems, Parsons Creek Watershed is at .45 systems per acre.Â The problem is over saturated land.Â At this point, testing should only be to monitor progress or in our case the lack of progress.Â Full report.<\/a><\/address>

b) The plumes (spread) from the leach fields are getting into the wetlands.Â Of the 843 systems, 331 are within 50 feet of wetlands, 26 more are within 75ft and another 26 are within 100ft of wetlands (a total of 383 systems are too close to wetlands).Â Â <\/address>
